Re: ABC Songbook

Was feeling nostalgic and playing some N64 earlier today, and got this stuck in my head. So, I transcribed it! I'm also posting it to TFL. Note that there are four parts, but all are stored in the same file as different TUNE numbers. To play, enter music mode, then type /play {filename} {1/2/3/4} {sync} where the number is what you're playing:
1: Drum
2: Theorbo
3: Lute
4: Flute

Add 'sync' if you're trying to play it as a group, which you should be.

Koji Kondo's New Wave Bossa Nova from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

Also, for my own personal novelty, I'm trying to find the simple harp music that is pretty much the classic Final Fantasy music, so I can play it on harp/lute. It's the one that starts 13 seconds into this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...KrhvSjDA&hl=en

There you go. To say it's "too many notes" doesn't quite cover it, the buffer seems to burden under the strain at times. I've tried stripped-down versions of this, but it doesn't seem to help the timing whatsoever. Until someone with more patience and talent crosses your path, I'm afraid this is the best I can do, neighbor.

Re: ABC Songbook

Here is a song that really cries out for strings! But since it does not seem like we will ever get strings, I have to settle for this. (BTW, have we ever been given a reasonable answer for why we don't have strings in this game! )

Re: ABC Songbook

Has anyone found ABC files, or even sheet music that could be transcribed into ABC format for the music of "The Hobbit" (1977) Cartoon?

I'm particularly interested in the full Misty Mountains Cold tune, which is a poem that is chanted by the dwarves in the film. I'd like to get all the sounds even the little intro part with the guitar strum and the quiet sounding bells. It is a dark, sad piece of music that I'd like to play in game. To hear it watch the video here from 1:05 to 2:10.

The words of the poem itself (by Tolkien) are recited starting at 4:54.

It is a relatively simple tune, but I have no musical talent whatsoever and don't know anything about it really (other than to listen to it).

It may be out there as an ABC file already, I've heard it played in game and it was the same each time (which leads me to believe it wasn't being played by hand), but I can't find it anywhere and I've been Google-ing every combination of words for 4 days to find it with zippy luck.

Okay I can play on a keyboard now after spending an hour listening to that snippet of the cartoon over and over and over and over again, but I can't transpose it into ABC format. I have the notes marked down (the timing I just did by ear so I don't know what it should be). Anyone able to help or point me to a good (but simple) tutorial for a dummy who doesn't know anything about music theory?

For instance, I need to do things like be able to play notes and chords at the same time. Strum a note and then also its matching chord two octaves lower? How can I write the ABC file that way?

Re: ABC Songbook

Had a few players ask me to post this one. It's been done before, I did a version over a year ago before chords, but have had this updated one kicking around for a while. I did this one from sheet music I had, It isn't perfect, but it's not bad.

Re: ABC Songbook

Ok, here's the new draft. It can no longer be played with only 2 musicians, I should think you'll need at least 4 (you can leave out the flute and horn parts). I've zipped it and posted it off-site, at lotroband.com...
